Finally Got it Done! Day 2 Building the New Farm Road Cattle Crossing!
What happens here
The creator starts operating a GEHL RT210 skid steer loader. He explains that the existing path needs to be smoothed out and compacted before adding rock (gravel). He then uses the skid steer, equipped with a grapple bucket (referred to as a 'raptor bucket'), to load large clumps of dirt and debris from the excavated path into the dump truck. This process involves repeatedly scooping dirt and emptying the bucket into the dump truck's bed.
Goal: Clear debris and begin building the road base with excavated dirt
